Official Wikipedia For Android Available Now – The official Wikipedia for Android app is finally here and you can do your homework, research and just read the open encyclopedia on your mobile on the go now. Previously, all the Wikipedia app on the Android Market are from the third-party.

The app is free and you can save an article for offline reading later and search articles which is nearby to your location. You can also share the articles you are reading to your friend using the Android’s built-in “Share” function. To gain more knowledge, I highly recommend this Wikipedia for Android app.

Download Wikipedia For Android for free on Android Market.

This could be bad if the bill is passed because you will not be able to access many website on the Internet that provides free information. Internet is supposed to be free and open to everyone. They can’t just block people from accessing free material. It’s just so wrong. Wikipedia English site has blacked out for a day to raise awareness on this. Many people are making a buzz on the Internet for not able to access Wikipedia.

My Flickr account has blacken out too, but I can choose not to black out my photo.

Facebook Chat On Windows With Messenger for Windows – Are you a frequent user of the Facebook Chat? Now you don’t have to turn on your browser, go to Facebook.com to chat with you friend. You can download the Facebook’s Messenger for Windows, which is a standalone app that you can install on your Windows system and chat with your friends.

The Messenger for Windows includes the chat system, notification system and friend request, it’s just like Facebook ported into an application. UI doesn’t change a bit from the Facebook, so nothing to fancy much about it. It also has pop-up notification to show your Facebook activity like who like or post on your wall, status, photos and more.

One more thing, I find the UI quite boring, despite having a standalone app, it should somehow has a different standalone design.

You can download it now for free on Facebook. Check out the help centre for more details.

Video: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 TV Advertisement - I am not hired by Samsung to write about the device, it’s just that it’s creating a buzz lately in the local tech scene as it’s launching tomorrow. Up to date, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the closest rival to the revolutionary Apple iPad and it even offers more with the Android-based open source platform.

Personally, I am more into Apple iPad for the apps, but if you want better camera, lighter, smaller, and Flash content, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is good for you. Looking in the video, it sarcastically show off the Apple iPad not supporting the Adobe Flash Player. It’s pretty addictive, but it’s up to you to decide which you like.

Weather Info In Google Maps – Maps is always a navigation tool. I believe many of you do use Google Maps to look for places and direction. However, have you ever think of looking on weather information and updates on a map? Now you can do it with the Google Maps as Google has added a new weather layer on it.

The Weather Layer displays current temperature and conditions around the world which makes planning of trips and caring for family and friends even easier. You are also able to check out the weather forecast for the next four days, as well as current humidity and wind conditions. This service is a collaboration from Weather.com with Google.

Fixed WordPress 3.2.1 Link Problem – I run a few blogs across the Internet and I have updated one of the blog (nickchan.net) to the latest version of WordPress 3.2.1. I was liking the new interface of the admin area until I encounter with a problem during I was writing a blog post. My blog post couldn’t aut0-save and every time I try to hyperlink a phrase, word or image, the whole page refreshes and I have no auto-save draft in my database. This really troubles and annoys me a lot until I found a good solution.

I was thinking of downgrading the WordPress but it seems many works to do. And then I found out that it’s actually one of the plugin which is causing the problem – Disqus Comment System. The solution is pretty simple, go to Disqus’ website, download the latest WordPress plugin and copy it to your ftp server and WordPress is working godlike now. So, the lesson is, have your plugin updated to the latest version all the time.

The Apple iPhone-Android Phone On Celcom’s Website - My recent tour to Celcom Malaysia’s website to check about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 made me found a surprised photo of a photoshop-ed Apple iPhone-Android. Could this be the next iPhone? Or a China mock-up? NO!

Noticed the back and search button along with the Apple iPhone 4′s home button on the promotional material of the site. Photoshop-ing the iPhone is a good way of getting rid of copyright issue, yet it looks weird and odd.

What do you think?

Facebook For iPad Is Coming Really Soon – iPad has been in the market for more than 1.5 years and number one social networking site Facebook still haven’t release an official app for the iPad support. iPad user have been using alternative like the enlarge version of Facebook for iPhone, Friendly, MyPad for Facebook and more.

Just recently, someone found a backdoor to check out the Facebook for iPad app through the Facebook for iPhone app installed on the iPad. Just a little bit tweak and you can check out the new Facebook for iPad app, featuring a full screen and feature pack.

Of course, your iPad need to be jailbroken to try out. I tried but unfortunately I couldn’t get in because Facebook has already block the access to the app and I don’t get to try it. Really bad luck of me, but this also means that the ETA of the app for iPad is coming really very soon. So, it’s just around the corner and get your iPad ready for the app. Facebook for iPad is coming really soon.
